Residents of the northern parts of the United States and Canada were lucky to see a colourful display of northern lights this past weekend. 

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center, a unique 'light show' was visible for a couple of days due to a geomagnetic storm in space.

People took to social media to share the images of the sky coloured in green, red, yellow, blue and pink.
